    It is amazing Muslims ever voted for Dems after 9/11 proved the entire democratic party leadership was just as bigoted as Republicans. Hopefully Dems go the way of the whig’s and we can get some new parties.

        The thing is the tea party was the same as the Republican party. Both were nationalist ultra capitalists that believed money should buy power. Democrats are the same, really.

        Any left wing thought, is entirely different from either of the major parties. There’s not really a way to pacify it.

          Dems are the party of complicity.

          The tea party though gave validation to the conspiracy theorists and unmasked the supremists.

        Wow. The two party system has you so fucked that you imagine if the Ds disintegrate that the only replacement would be the Republicans. Read history, I beg you. The Ds will disintegrate over the next decade and they will be replaced by a better stronger party that takes their place.

          I mean historically that was the republicans. the dems have been around since 1828. Granted I guess its perspective in the sense the republicans have failed and restarted more so are more apt to or on the other hand you could say the dems are do. curiously the predicessor of the dems is a also the predicessor of the republicans but the republicans had a few more iterations since the split.
